Amphion ("native of two lands") and Zethus (also Zethos), in ancient Greek mythology, were the twin sons of Zeus by Antiope. When children, they were exposed on Mount Cithaeron, but were found and brought up by a shepherd. Their mother had abandoned them, fleeing in shame because they were the product of being raped by Zeus. (Her husband was either King Nycteus of Thebes or the river god Asopus.) She then married Epopeus, King of Sicyon. Nycteus, unable to retrieve his wife, sent his brother Lycus to take her. ...

In Greek mythology, Antiope was the name of the daughter of the Boeotian river-god Asopus, according to Homer (Od. xi. 260); in later poems she is called the daughter of King Nycteus of Thebes or Lycurgus.

On the way home she gave birth, in the neighbourhood of Eleutherae on Mount Cithaeron, to the twins Amphi ...

A mortal woman in Greek mythology, Niobe (Νιόβη), daughter of Tantalus and either Euryanassa, Eurythemista, Clytia, Dione, or Laodice, and the wife of Amphion, boasted of her superiority to Leto because she had fourteen children (Niobids), seven male and seven female, while Leto had only two.

In virtually all the mythology of the world, the Twin represents some "other" aspect of the Self, a doppelganger in some way. Often the twin is the "evil twin", or one may be human and one semi-divine. In myth, the twin may be a brother, or a soul-mate, such as the "civilized" Gilgamesh and the "wild" Enkidu. See also the mythic twins Castor and Pollux, Amphion and Zethus of Thebes, and Romulus and Remus of Rome.Gemini ...

Amphion (Greek) With Zethus, the Boeotian Dioscuri, twin sons of Antiope by Zeus. Abandoned on a mountain, they were raised by a shepherd, eventually reunited with their mother, and became the rulers of Thebes.

They built the walls of Thebes, Amphion fitting the stones together with the music of his lyre. Amphion married Niobe, and after his children were slain and his wife turned into a rock because she had insulted Latona, he killed himself and was buried with his brother in one grave. (SD 2:795).

Niobe In Greek mythology, daughter of Tantalus, and wife of Amphion of Thebes. She arrogantly compared herself, with 14 children, to Leto who had but two -- Apollo and Artemis. These two killed Niobe's children, and she was turned into a rock.

In one interpretation Niobe represents an Atlantean race, and her seven sons and seven daughters are its branches. She descends from the Atlantides, representative of the doomed continent. Her children are slain by Apollo and Artemis, representing the sons of will and yoga; and she was changed into a stone from which has flowed an unceasing stream -- an allusion to the rivers of lives broken up into the various races and branchlets forming the living flowing stream of human existence.
